Personal life
Berridge was born in New Rochelle, New York, the daughter of George Berridge, a lawyer, and Mary L.

Due to her acting commitments, she earned her diploma through an independent-study program at Mamaroneck High School.[3]
She met actor Kevin Corrigan when they worked together on the film Broke Even (2000). They married in 2001 and have a daughter together.[4]

Career
Berridge was called in to audition for the part of Constanze Mozart after filming had already commenced in Prague on Amadeus. Meg Tilly, who was originally given the role, injured her leg in a soccer game and had to withdraw from the film. Two actresses were flown to Prague, and after a week's auditions Berridge was given the part (supposedly because the other actress, Diane Franklin, was "too pretty" to play the part of a landlady's daughter).[5] Berridge and the other cast members remained in Prague for six months to complete the filming.[6]
